In Memory of
Robert Story
a native of Western Africa
in early life
torn from Home & sold in
Rio-De-Janeiro as a slave
there for his good fidelity
he was set free by his master
whom loving
he followed to this country
and who retains the most
grateful remembrance of his
faithful services
- - -
In this Parish
he dwelt for many years
an example to all servants for
honesty sobriety and truthfulness
ever reverent to his superiors
obliging to his equals
kind and courteous to all
his most blameless life
after every suffering meekly endured
through faith in a Redeemers love
was closed in peace & hope
in the thirtieth year of his age
on the 4th day of August
1848
